Home lighting generally comprise of three or four basic types of lighting which if included in a room can help in bringing the desired effect. These are : task lighting, general lighting, accent lighting and decorative lighting.

A good lighting plan is a must for every home, in fact for every area of the house including a bathroom. For lighting a bathroom properly, the most important component is task lighting as various activities are carried out there such as shaving, applying make up etc. So, it is always good to have task lights around the vanity mirrors so that these tasks can be performed conveniently.

It is strongly recommended that good task lighting be installed either above the vanity mirror located near the sink or on both sides of the mirror. This is absolutely critical for providing good bathroom task lighting.

You should always go for incandescent or halogen light sources for bathroom vanity mirror as these are bright light sources and vanity area should have enough light.

One of the simplest techniques that you can use to ensure that you will always have enough light is to “over light” the space and then use dimmers to control the amount of light that you want or need at any given moment.

Recessed down lights should not be used to light your face while standing at a mirror because the light coming from these fixtures will cause too many shadows on your face. Recessed down lights can be used in other parts of the bathroom for general lighting but not for task lighting at the vanity mirror.

Some areas of the bathroom are ofeten ignored when it comes to lighting them up. These are the shower, jacuzzi etc. Lighting them will add to the look of your bathroom. You can go for fancy recessed lights for these areas.

Lights enhance the beauty of a place. So, putting a little time and effort with home lighting can make it look simply amazing.
